FALL / ode to autumn (Live from CornerStore) Lyrics

Sitting in my bedroom

In September in the dark

I haven't been returning

Your messages or calls

My vision's kind of blurry

And the static in my ears

Makes it hard to think about

The past few weeks at all

The days are getting shorter

But leaves are staying green

The nights are getting longer

And I've caught you in between

A spiritual awakening

And full-scale mental break

I blame it on the seasons

Texas robbed me of my fall

My fall

My fall

My fall

My fall

Life seems simple

On the coast of Mexico

I've never really been there

So I'll never really know

I know my sky is stormy

And the porch light flickers on

The waves are crashing harder

And I know that I should run

Run closer to the sunshine

And leaves that stay so green

But nights are getting darker

And I'm caught up in between

A longing for the ocean

And a longing for the rain

But on the coast of Mexico

The seasons stay the same

I need my fall

My fall

My fall

My fall

I'm reminded of

The time you stole my heart

The time we watched the sunrise

From the roof of your old car

You told me you'd do anything

To never leave the state

I told you let's go anywhere

But the shore was much too far

I know you miss the palm trees

I know you miss the waves

I miss my father's laughter and

I really miss your face

The blossoms on the dogwood and

The smell of my hometown

I miss my seasons

I really miss my fall

My fall
